I would assume because the whole model of encrypting your drives and installing bootloaders doesn’t blend well with the flatpak sandbox
You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.
I haven’t used veracrypt to encrypt linux system partitions. Does it do all the decryption in user space somehow?
and then what’s the benefit of having veracrypt as a flatpak package? that it can be used with older dependencies? if so, is that a good thing to have for things that modify system startup?

Flatpaks is a universal package format, it works almost everywhere. Also, there are immutable distros, that use flatpak as the default package format.
Go ask them https://mastodon.social/@veracrypt
Those are two completely different things. It is like saying “why hammers not apples?” There is no logical answer, they are just two completely different things.
I was confused, but I think they might be asking why Veracrypt isn’t available as a flatpak
I’ve interpreted like that as well. 🤔
this, sorry for the title
